This man is not particularly dangerous at anything. Pretty much just a safe fighting, jack-of-all trades kind of guy. Sure he can play it safe against a very aggressive RDA, but that is dependent on how aggressive his opponents are. Any guy in the top 10 can decide to play it safe and fight Alvarez in a safe manner will outpoint him simply because his striking is not refined. It's only when fighters realize he is a boring fighter and play it safe all day, and are forced to go aggressive to appease the fan, only then will he start to trade.
RDA, Pettis, and Melendez would all easily beat him in a rematch. This guy is a very average fighter.
